TWO Loughborough best friends who suffered different forms of cancer have joined forces to raise funds for charity.

Kym Godfrey, from Loughborough, was diagnosed with cancer of the tongue and vocal chords in 2011. Following unsuccessful chemo and radiotherapy she had both removed in April 2012.

All through her treatment she was supported by her closest friend, Sian Lewin, of Burton-on-the-Wolds.

A few months later Sian herself was diagnosed with a very rare form of blood cancer called Hairy Cell Leukaemia.

Kym said: “Over the years we have both been keen fund-raisers for our respective cancer charities including in 2013 raising over £2,000 from a jumble sale with proceeds going towards cancers of the head and neck.”

On Saturday, April 18, at the Fennel Street Club, Fennel Street, Loughborough, there will be a massive jumble sale from noon to 3pm. Entrance is free, with all proceeds going to Lymphoma and Leukaemia Research.
